Members of Congress and Washington-based journalists are mourning the death of veteran New York Times reporter Robert Pear, 69, of complications from a stroke suffered last week.

Pear is being extolled for his meticulous, fair-minded, no-nonsense approach to complicated policy topics. And that was the way that we at NumbersUSA experienced him in his occasional coverage of us and our policy topic. Colleagues and sources describe him as always looking for stories that were "hidden in plain sight" which all other journalists missed.

A Migration Policy Institute study found that 125,000 illegal aliens reach the age of 18 each year, and 98,000 graduate high school. When MPI last studied the so-called “Dreamer” population in 2003, 80,000 reached the age of 18 each year and 98,000 graduated high school each year. Congress is considering two bills that would legalize illegal-alien graduates who meet certain residency and other requirements.

Senators Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) and Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) have introduced the Dream Act, S. 874. If passed, the bill would grant amnesty and lifetime work permits to more than 2 million illegal aliens who meet certain requirements. Unlike the H.R. 6, the American Dream and Promise Act, S. 874 would not grant amnesty to foreign citizens, most of whom first came to the country illegally, who have received Temporary Protected Status or Deferred Enforced Departure.

The American Dream and Promise Act, H.R. 6, would grant amnesty to as many as 3.5 million illegal aliens who entered the country before their 18th birthday AND to 429,000 (mostly illegal-alien) individuals who have received relief from deportation, making it the largest amnesty in our nation's history, if passed.

National Review's Kevin Williamson, who has said communities in America struggling to survive "deserve to die," now takes aim at Sen. Bernie Sanders and finds him no different than President Trump, while revealing that NumbersUSA president Roy Beck also gets under his skin. The reason? Each has expressed concern for how immigration policy affects the welfare of American workers.

On March 12, House Democrats plan to introduce a new version of the Dream Act that provides amnesty for certain Temporary Protected Status and Deferred Enforced Departure recipients as well as those who entered the country illegally as minors. If the Dream and Promise Act of 2019 (H.R. 6) resembles past versions, it would offer citizenship to millions.

The National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) is set to unveil an immigration proposal that would grant amnesty to the more than 11 million illegal aliens living in the United States and increase the number of foreign workers imported each year. The proposal, as reported by Fox News, attempts to appeal to Pres. Trump's desire to build a border wall by including a boost for border security funding in the proposal.

For the moment, I have to say that I was relieved when the President got through his long State of the Union section on immigration.

There had been so much talk about the possibility of a big new announcement and about the efforts of some inside the White House to put together some kind of new comprehensive compromise plan, I was braced for some major backtracking.

NumbersUSA Education & Research Foundation provides a civil forum for Americans of all political and ethnic backgrounds to focus on a single issue, the numerical level of U.S. immigration. We educate opinion leaders, policymakers and the public on immigration legislation, policies and their consequences. We favor reductions in immigration numbers toward traditional levels that would allow present and future generations of Americans to enjoy a stabilizing U.S. population and a high degree of individual liberty, mobility, environmental quality, worker fairness and fiscal responsibility.

Those who need to refer to NumbersUSA with a short, descriptive modifier should call it an “immigration-reduction organization.”
